Tips & Tricks for Enjoying Caviar
Embrace the tradition: According to Guenievre Milliner of Little Gourmand, savoring caviar is as much about tradition as it is about flavor. 'Caviar is traditionally served on a blini (small buckwheat pancakes) or simply on a slightly warmed toast,' she says. Another beloved variation is placing caviar atop a lukewarm, steamed, unpeeled potato for a unique twist. Choose the right pairing: Pair your caviar with a premium vodka or a crisp Brut Champagne for the perfect balance. Don't use a metal spoon! Never use a metal spoon to serve or taste caviar, as metal can affect its delicate flavor. Instead, opt for a spoon made of mother-of-pearl, bone, or plastic. Try it like the pros: For true aficionados, Guenievre shares a special ritual. 'True caviar lovers will place the caviar on the back of their hand between the thumb and index finger, in order to perceive the temperature and feel of the caviar. This also allows to properly verify its shape, dimensions, and color. Furthermore, the hand will provide the caviar the right amount of heat, allowing it to better unleash its flavor before serving.'
You can find these wonderful tips and more on the Little Gourmand website.

‘Russians at War' team on ‘shocking' backlash to film and direct-to-audience release
Anastasia Trofimova risked her life to make 'Russians at War' — and then spent the next year fighting to have the film shown. Now, after months of cancellations, protests and threats, the controversial documentary will bypass traditional channels and release directly to audiences on Tuesday. The film, which follows Russian soldiers on the front lines of the war in Ukraine, drew a standing ovation at its Venice world premiere in 2024 but quickly became a lightning rod. Its North American debut at TIFF last year was met with demonstrations from pro-Ukraine groups who called it Russian propaganda. Its screenings had to be rescheduled due to 'significant threats to festival operations and public safety.' The blowback continued throughout the year, with festivals including Athens and Zurich withdrawing the film due to mounting protests and security concerns. Meanwhile, TVO scrapped plans to air the documentary after the backlash, leaving it without a distributor. 'I was getting death threats and all sorts of abuse,' says Trofimova of the backlash. 'It was shocking. You go to the war against all odds, you bring back a story, you go deeper than other people because you're that much more obsessed about it, and you are getting attacked by people who have not been even close to the war, but they're telling you what it's like.' The Russian-Canadian director points out that many of the film's detractors said they hadn't seen the film and didn't intend to. 'They're refusing to see the film, but have very strong opinions on it. So that's been a bit surprising,' she says on a video call. In 'Russians at War,' Trofimova embeds herself with Russian troops on the front lines of the conflict in Ukraine, capturing their personal experiences and perspectives. While some have praised it for its unfiltered portrayal of soldiers' realities, others have criticized it for lacking historical and political context about the invasion, raising concerns that it might whitewash the actions of the Russian military. The film's producer Cornelia Principe says the direct-to-audience release is 'partly by design, partly by necessity.' 'It was important for us to get it out there so people can see it, because part of the controversy is coming from places where people haven't seen the film,' explains the Oscar-nominated producer behind 2022's 'To Kill a Tiger.' Principe says 'Russians at War' is still being shopped to European broadcasters and will air on British Columbia's Knowledge Network this fall as part of a series of films about the war in Ukraine. Lawyers representing the film threatened TVO with legal action last year for pulling the film, but Principe says both parties have since reached 'a mutually satisfactory settlement of our dispute and have agreed not to comment further.' She says her production company, Raja Pictures, has reclaimed the film's rights. The film is available to rent worldwide at except in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, where producers plan to offer it for free at a later date. Principe says they took inspiration from the Oscar-winning documentary 'No Other Land,' about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and 'Union,' which follows Amazon workers' fight to unionize — both titles faced distribution hurdles and ultimately went the direct-to-audience route. Trofimova says the intense backlash to 'Russians at War' revealed just how vulnerable films can be to organized attacks. 'It was shocking how easy it is to attack a film. If you are an interest group, if you're a state, if you're a corporation, it's not that hard to get screenings cancelled or to muddy the waters around what it's about,' she says. 'How do we make complex films and get them out there, despite the fact that they will most likely be attacked by some sort of interest group?' Principe worries about the chilling effect such pressure could have on creative freedom. 'Are we leading to situations where filmmakers will self-censor, where broadcasters will self-censor, where festivals will self-censor and not take on difficult things?' Still, Principe says she and Trofimova 'listened to what people were saying.' Weekly A weekly look at what's happening in Winnipeg's arts and entertainment scene. In response to criticism that 'Russians at War' lacked sufficient context on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they added an introductory card to the direct-to-audience version noting that the invasion is 'the deadliest conflict on European soil since WWII' and that war crimes investigations by the International Criminal Court are underway. As for those still reluctant to watch the film, Trofimova says: 'Watch it when you're ready.' 'It's not a film where it's like 'gotcha.' It's not a film where I aimed to dehumanize someone. It's a document of history and this war is scary. And this war, it is a tragedy and it's still continuing. And when you watch it, just know that it's continuing,' she says. 'I hope, on the human part, we can see each other as people, and I hope that once you see what war looks like, anyone who has any illusions will understand a little bit more.'

Viral ‘Nicki Minaj challenge' prompts warning from Toronto surgeon
You may have seen it online, or even tried it yourself. A viral social media challenge has a lot of people throwing on a pair of high heels and testing out their balance on a number of precariously stacked objects. 'It was every other video on my 'For you' or 'Explore' page on Instagram and TikTok,' Molly Kohn said of the 'Nicki Minaj challenge' exploding online. The 23-year-old business owner in Toronto was hoping to get more traction for her non-slip hair elastics business and decided to give it a go. So there she was — high heels on, balancing on a jar of hair ties, with her mother filming the video, and her sister holding her hand while helping her cross her legs. Story continues below advertisement 'I'm happy with the result…. I used to be a gymnast so my balance is pretty good. So that was definitely helpful for this specific trend,' Kohn chuckled. The challenge is inspired by a clip of rap superstar Nicki Minaj in her 2013 music video High School, where she's seen squatting in stilettos with one leg crossed over the other. In the past few weeks, the moment has been recreated by hundreds online — including the Pinkprint rapper herself. In London, Ont., another person took up the challenge, but with a twist.

'I had to do a couple of takes, just to make sure I was safe.' Story continues below advertisement Mulligan is also a personal trainer and a retired ballerina, so she says balance isn't something that she struggles with. And yet, some of the videos she's seen others do online felt dangerous, she said. 'I think sometimes people can see a trend online, and they get really excited, because it looks really fun, but it can sometimes put people at risk. So I think it's important to find that balance between fun and safety,' she said. That sentiment is echoed by Dr. Jihad Abouali, who is warning others about what could happen if the challenge goes awry. 'Looking at that specific challenge, the person is in a really hyper-flexed position with their knee, so that puts a lot of strain on some of the structures in the joints, such as the meniscus or the cartilage,' the orthopedic surgeon at Michael Garron Hospital said. 'If you fall during that challenge, that could result in a meniscal tear or an ACL injury. Sometimes they land on their backside; that could result in a spinal injury as well.' That seems to be what happened with Russian influencer Mariana Barutkina. The 32-year-old reportedly fractured her spine falling off a kitchen countertop while performing the challenge. Story continues below advertisement Abouali says he sees about one patient a week who has been injured by copying a social media trend. And while he hasn't seen injuries associated with the Nicki Minaj challenge yet, he says it mimics other trends where he's seen people get hurt. 'Unfortunately, I do see that come across my schedule from time to time, where patients — they're a little embarrassed to say it — tell me they were trying to do a challenge or copy some kind of video they saw online,' he said. If you do end up getting hurt, making a legal claim would be difficult, tech expert Ritesh Kotak says. Story continues below advertisement 'Most of these social media platforms are headquartered in the United States, and there is a law in the United States under the Communications Decency Act that essentially says platforms can't be held liable. You can't go after them, and you can't sue them,' Kotak said. Overall, Abouali says some of those attempting the challenge may be at less risk than others — if they're athletic, warmed up and sitting closer to the ground. Others, however, should not take the risk, despite the temptation. 'Be safe, and please don't show up to my clinic because you tried the challenge,' he laughed.
